Cinnamon Rolls

I use to make these cinnamon rolls,
when I worked in a bakery in Colorado.
They are very easy to make but it does take some time.

Basic Sweet Dough Recipe.


3/4 cup of milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
2 packages active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water
3 eggs room temperature
5 to 6 cups Flour

Combine milk, sugar, salt and butter in sauce pan.
Heat over low heat until
butter is melted and sugar is disolved.

Put 5 cups of flour into mixing bowl.
If you have a dough hook it is better to use this.
Sprinkle in both packets of yeast into flour.
Add the warm water and milk mixture and mix for
2 minutes or until dough
pulls away from bowl and clings to hook.
Add at this time more flour
if needed 1/2 cup at a time. Knead 2 minutes longer.

Place in grease bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.

Roll dough to about a 10 X 30 X 1/4 inch rectangle.
Spread Cinnamon Spread to cover all of rolled dough.
Roll tightly from long side to form a roll.
When this is finished pull
both ends lightly and stretch. Release both
ends so dough will relax.
Cut rolls into 1 inch slices.
Place into a greased pans. Let rise again for about 1 hour.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Makes about 24 Cinnamon Rolls.
